I seem to buy and sell vsf subs esp Starbucks more any watch, but having bought another I can see why they are so popular. Still one of the best out the box in our great hobby 
Lately seeing the 2R9 serials coming back on the starbucks, anyone knows what the difference is with the Q66 ?
Still no news on the VSF 124060 no-date without a ghost date position? I read somewhere that it would be released after CNY?

like mine... but mine has a noisy rotor... Does yours make any noise?I seem to buy and sell vsf subs esp Starbucks more any watch, but having bought another I can see why they are so popular. Still one of the best out the box in our great hobby
One of the pricier options from AliExpress, it’s not super impressive but serviceable in rotation.
No etched crown? Just received my VSF 124060 from JTime and for the life of me can’t see the etched crown, I’m using a 10X loupe and I know from previous experience that sometimes it can be hard to see but I’m pretty sure my crystal doesn’t have one? Thoughts anyone?.
Get your phone out at turn on your flashlight. Shine your light on the side of the crystal, it is hardly visible. Just like original.
Well, well I’m fkd their it i! That is a mean trick, thank you!
I’ve also gotta say I’ve been into reps for quite some time now but Been out the loop for a while and this thing has blown me away… and I own a Gen!!
Same boat here. These things are amazing. Sounds like they’re holding up to daily wear pretty well… I’ve only been wearing mine a couple weeks but bracelet still looks new.
Has anyone been daily wearing one for more than a year?
My VSF seems to run a little fast… like +15 sec/day but resetting the time every few days is a pretty small inconvenience until I can get it better regulated.
I have used my 126610 as a daily since begining of 2021 and its holding up verry good.(i serviced the movment when i got it though) Its little scratch up here and there But What to expect from a daily driver
still love it verry mutch 
VSF gentlemen and gentle ladies, not a QC request per se as I know that we don’t do that here and ultimately it’s my decision, but I was wondering if anyone else experienced the ‘shadow / off centre lume pip’ during QC? I’ve searched a few threads, and have seen that this happens in gen too (cue pic below), so I wondered if it is actually a thing on some VSFs or just lighting / mind trickery?
Coming from Omegas I’m used to crooked 12 SpongeBob teeth, but for subs my eyes are relatively untrained and drawn to the pip.
QC pic - off centre lume pip, missing paint, or a shadow? (same effect is present from different angles but I don’t want to spam here):
Comparative QC (different watch, same model reference):

It´s the angle of the pic. To compare, ask for pictures of the watch upside down. Even in real life light is difficult to tell so I turn my watches this way just to be proven wrong regarding parts that seem off...
I know it’s vanilla but just had to post one pic of my 1 day old Sub, gained 1 Second over night! 
Love it!
Love it!
